·Hi everyone,
I would like to get your thoughts and insights on this inherited vintage Omega dress watch.
Here are a few details from the movement and case back:
- Movement: Omega Caliber 600, manual wind, 17 jewels.
- Serial Number: 214XXXXXX (which points to around 1964 production).
- Case Reference: 131.015 (Gold plated).
I have a couple of questions for the community:
1) Crown: The current crown on the watch is plain and does not feature the Omega logo. Is this a non-original replacement from a past service, or were there any specific references/markets during this period that shipped with plain crowns? If it is a replacement, what would be the correct genuine Omega crown part for this reference?
2) Strap Choice: Would you recommend switching the current brown strap to a black leather one? How do you think a black strap fits this gold-plated reference?
3) Buckle: Where would be the best place to source an authentic vintage (or vintage-style) Omega buckle that matches this watch?
4) General Opinion & Dial/Hands: What is your overall impression of the dial, hands, and case condition? Does everything else look authentic and period-correct to you?
Any extra details about this reference or advice on sourcing parts would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance for your help!
